Awakened Housewife Ignore Betrayer's Begs (Scarlett) novel Chapter 891

Henry stayed uneasy, yet having no alternative, nodded helplessly, "Understood."

Sensing Henry's worry, Damian added, "Please don't worry, Sir and Madam—I'll take full responsibility for Scarlett."

Henry parted his lips to agree, but Diana, silent until now, chimed in coldly, "Talk is cheap—doing it is what actually counts."

Turning to face Diana, Damian replied gently, "I understand, Ma'am."

Diana knew Damian was a stand-up guy, yet hearing about Vincent's public wedding meltdown made her panic, sparking her sharp tone.

After a brief silence, Diana said, "Go upstairs and check on Scarlett then."

Damian agreed without hesitation, "Will do."

Turning around, he moved toward the staircase.

Before he could take a step, Scarlett appeared at the top of the stairs, hurrying down in a panic, "Claire called saying she needs me—I gotta run over."

Looking up, Damian saw her leg had mostly healed, though her hurried steps gave her a slight limp.

Seeing her come down, Damian stopped his ascent.

Catching her frantic expression, Damian held back further questions, offering softly, "I'll drive you over."

Scarlett paused briefly on the steps before feigning composed and continuing down.

Reaching Damian's side, she looked deep into his eyes and murmured, "Okay."

Hearing her quick agreement, Damian's doubts dissolved significantly.

After all, he was driving her there himself.

With that in mind, Damian forced a faint smile, "Alright, let's go."

Damian reached out to hold Scarlett's hand, while she reached up to find his at the exact same moment.

Their hands intertwined mid-air seamlessly.

Warmth flooded Damian's chest in that instant.

Whatever doubts remained vanished.

Claire was Scarlett's close friend after all; Damian had no reason to stop her.

Saying goodbye to her parents, Scarlett and Damian walked out of the house hand in hand.

Snow fell softly outside without wind, making the weather fairly mild.
